The announcement comes following last week's Washington Post report in which Leigh Corfman claims that she had a sexual encounter with Roy Moore when she was 14-years-old. Moore was a 32-year old assistant district attorney in Etowah County at the time of the alleged incident.

Moore called the allegations in the Post's report "completely false and a desperate political attack."

Beverly Young Nelson told reporters she was working at the Old Hickory House in the late 70s, where Moore was a regular.

While Nelson said he complemented her, she did not "encourage his flirtatious behavior."

She also showed a yearbook he had signed of hers. She was 16 years old when the alleged incident occurred.

On what she described as a cold evening, Nelson said her boyfriend was late picking her up from a shift at the restaurant.

She said Moore offered her a ride, but instead took her behind the restaurant where he groped her.

"I was terrified," she recounted, "He was also trying to pull my shirt off. I thought that he was going to rape me."

"I had tears running down my face."

Nelson said Moore eventually "gave up" before making her get out of the car.
